“Good Girl Gone Bad” Album by Rihanna
Rihanna seems to be absolutely everywhere these days. With her ever-changing brightly colored, quirky hairstyles, it is very hard to miss her. She is constantly being played on the radio and featured on the front cover of every magazine on newsstands. I definitely understand all of the hype about …
Numb by Linkin park
Numb by Linkin park is a song that I like a lot because it is a song of anguish. To me it sounds like the lyrics are telling how majority of teenagers feel but are afraid to admit so. This song has some powerful verses in it and the …
Radiohead - Go Slowly (Song)
Go Slowly is a song by Radiohead which appears on their 2007 release, In Rainbows. The track opens up with a very melodic section led by a clean guitar and other instrumentation to accompany it. Right from the start, any listener slightly familiar with Radiohead should be able to …
Frank Sinatra - That’s Life - Single
That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.

Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta (song)
Atlanta is the closing track on Stone Temple Pilots album No. 4. I find this song to be comfortably soothing, and a suitable song to close an excellent album with. The song starts off very simple but becomes more and more layered as it progresses on.
“Atlanta” is a slower …
Torn Between two Lovers (song) from Mary MacGregor

Metallica And Lou Reed - Pumping Blood (Song)

The Hollow - A Perfect Circle
It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …
Eve (rapper)
The first time that I heard of the popular American singer and rapper Eve was not in the late nineteen nineties when she had released her first studio album, but instead in the early two thousands when I was still in my early years of high school, and her …

Kings of Leon
I first heard about Kings of Leon right around when they came on the scene which, I believe, was back in 2005. The first video I saw of theirs was “Four Kicks”. I liked the song’s kind of punchy, in your face sound, and the video was all around …

When your home or surround is rain, try to listen this song? Why? because the tittle? Maybe, but the music is match with the situation of rain, because it little bit melodize but still feel emo.

Kumi Koda - show girl PV
The PV starts out with a sepia toned scene of Koda, who’s playing a woman of early 20th Century America being dumped. It then switches to color and remains that way for the rest of the video. I found the shift to be interesting as it conveyed her past …
Ciara - Get Up
This song is pretty old, but it’s still good to listen. Get up is the soundtrack of movie step up. It’s a R n B song.

Only by the Night, by Kings of Leon

Weezer - Mykel And Carli (Song)
